d them more and more to trust in Him.

Sep. 4. 38l. more has come in since Aug. 1st for these objects, and
today there was given to me 305l. 17s. 3d. for Home and Foreign
labourers, for present use for the Orphans, and for the other parts of
the work. Thus I have again the desire of my heart given to me in being
able to assist a number of dear brethren at home and abroad, to whom I
desired to send help. Of this sum I took 205l. 17s. 3d. for these
objects, and 100l. for the Orphans.

Sept. 9. Since the 4th I have sent out about 60l. already for brethren
who labour in England and Foreign lands. This morning I received from C.
W. 25l. more for missionary objects.

Oct. 22. This morning's post had brought no means. Whilst walking in
my little garden for meditation and prayer, I said to myself--"Though
the post has brought no means, yet the Lord can send even this day rich
supplies." It was not two minutes after this, when a letter was handed
to me, which had been brought that moment, containing two Fifty Pound
Notes and these words: "My little children, let us not love in word,
neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."---40l. for missionaries;
Demerara and others, dependant on God for supplies. 10l. for Home
missionaries, dependant on God for their support. 10l. for the Orphans.
10l. for the poor of Bethesda and Salem Church. 10l. for Mr. Mueller.
10l. for Mr. Craik. 5l. for Bibles and Testaments. 5l. for rent, &c. of
chapels."---Thus I had a fresh answer to my prayers, which had been
again brought before the Lord this morning, that He would enable me
still more to help the dear brethren who labour at home and abroad in
dependence upon Him for supplies.

Dec. 22. During the last two months about 70l. more has come in, chiefly
for Missionary purposes. Of these donations, about eighty in number, I
only mention that there was given on Nov. 5, the sum of 6l. 14s., being
the tenth part of profits arising from shares which a brother has in
coal mines. --Now today, Dec. 22, I received 175l. more for these
funds, which I took as a further precious answer to my supplications to
God, for help for home and foreign labourers, and for means to procure a
fresh stock of tracts.

March 7, 1847. Often of late have I besought the Lord that He would be
pleased to give me more means for those objects. For more than nine
months we have on the whole abounded more than at any time during the
thirteen years since this work first began; bu
